Setting Communications Parameters

2-12 Set Up
When the printer comes from the factory, it is ready to use the parallel
interface. To use the parallel port, no further action is necessary. If you
want to use the serial interface, however, you may need to first set the
serial communications parameters on the printer's Setup menu. You'll
need to set them so that they match the serial protocol that your computer
uses.
The serial communications parameters consist of the following:
INTRFCE. Lets you select the active interface: parallel or serial.
BAUD. Lets you specify the serial baud rate (that is, the speed of
data transmission) that your computer uses.
PARITY. Lets you specify the method of parity error checking that
your computer uses.
DATA BITS. Lets you specify the number of data bits in each serial
data byte sent from your computer.
STOP BITS. Lets you specify the number of stop bits in each serial
data byte sent from your computer.
HNDSHK. Lets you specify the handshaking protocol (that is, the
method of printer busy notification) that your computer recognizes.
Refer to the Control Panel section of this guide for more information on
setting communications parameters.
